EPA Proposes Re-Approval of Twice-Banned Dicamba Herbicide

Imagine a weed killer called dicamba that farmers use.

The government, the EPA, wants to let farmers use it again.

This weed killer has been used for 50 years.

Some special crops were made that can handle it.

But, it can drift away and hurt other plants.

The EPA had to stop it twice because of court orders.

Now, the EPA says it won't hurt people, but it might still hurt plants.

Some farmers want it to be available because it helps them.

Other people are worried it will cause problems for the environment.
